Thanks to all who came along to the Artist Demonstration last night at Hot Bed Press. What a great talk it was by Alice Smith from Bracket Press. An intimate and candid chat on the publishing world full of snippets, tips, sound advice and insightful perspective.

A good crowd saw at first hand the difference of being in total artistic control, but having to do all the hard work, through to working for the big guys but forsaking a little artistic integrity and control for expediency and a wider audience.

So much to take in and so engaging. We can expect the touch paper to be already lit on a few projects for books.

Great to see the artist talks take another interesting turn. You just can’t buy this experience and knowledge anywhere else.
